00:02:56.660 people don't know anything about you yet so yeah let's start back where you come from bro

00:03:00.720 i grew up in north virginia close to dc um just to not get long-winded i'm an average american

00:03:09.400 i've been in and out of trouble since the age of 15 i went straight to jail straight to prison

00:03:16.320 didn't come home until 2009 i was 25 years old all i had was 25 for a bus ticket and a paper id

00:03:24.840 you name it i've lived in people's couches i've lived in my car a 180 degree turn my life around

00:03:35.800 it is true your decisions do determine where you end up in your life my decisions in my earlier days

00:03:43.280 i lived a life of literally hell when i didn't really have to and now living a life of making good

00:03:49.920 decisions applying myself to grow my life has took a major change right um i'm another example

00:03:58.100 of the american dream the american dream is real right there's literally there's nobody on the 13th

00:04:04.640 floor collaborating just to keep someone that looks like me down right there's no white supremacy

00:04:12.460 racist white dust floating around that i could breathe in that will create me to have poor

00:04:19.540 behavior or make bad decisions or why i fail right it's literally the decisions that you make in your 0.88

00:04:25.080 life that will determine what your outcome is and i'm an example of that i'm an example of the american

00:04:30.720 dream so in a nutshell that is who i am i am a business owner to tampa florida i am in florida now

00:04:39.180 i own a gym um i've received all my civil rights back like i was telling you including my second

00:04:47.080 amendment rights so we we do live in a country that has a scale right if you make good decisions and you

00:04:53.860 are able to show that you turn your life around like it will reward you right so i just i want my

00:05:00.460 inspiration my story to inspire people i want my story to show people that hey nothing holds you back

00:05:07.680 nothing out here in this world uh is geared to hold anybody back if you know how to win and you apply

00:05:13.940 yourself you will win um you will win so in a nutshell that's who i am and i'm sure we'll get

00:05:20.180 into the nuts and bolts as we go on but i'm craig long and i'm not gonna give it to you with a chaser 0.98

00:05:45.140 regular dude out there grinding i actually think that that's the more powerful message in my opinion 0.99

00:05:49.660 um you know people need to see and hear what you're talking about because dude you've been down

00:05:55.940 the the negative path you know let's talk about that you know what what what got you uh put away for 0.51

00:06:02.360 for for those those years well i can it wasn't no punk ass charges like i stole a bubble gum yeah

00:06:08.460 right i know or i was messing what's you know what i mean no it wasn't you know i was living a street

00:06:14.660 life man yeah i was out there caught up in that culture which is a destructive culture is something

00:06:20.160 that i'm constantly talking about the destructive culture that just on destructive behaviors and i was

00:06:26.420 i lived it i got caught up in it i was influenced by it um my because of that culture and because of

00:06:32.820 my decisions of choosing a life like that right it led me into doing prison time a long exterior

00:06:39.400 extended period of time in prison um i went to prison i shot two people um i lost my freedom i lost all my

00:06:47.840 rights because i shot people now the people that i shot did they deserve it at the time absolutely

00:06:53.280 you know what i mean thank god i have another chance that people are still here i will we won't

00:06:59.520 go into detail of that but the people are still here and uh so i got another crack at life right and

00:07:05.160 through that ordeal right prison is prison now i just want to clarify these were not just innocent

00:07:11.080 people that you jacked running down these are not like i think what we hear on tv like a seven year

00:07:40.480 i was somebody you didn't want to run across at that time but i always have been a good-hearted 0.56

00:07:46.460 person but i made dumb decisions and it led me into prison i did prison time i i didn't do

00:07:52.820 some i was at the jail for a couple i did real time man you know what i mean um lifers people that were

00:08:00.020 on death row what was that like for you well what was the like your your experience in prison because

00:15:08.320 you 25 25 bucks 25 bucks to buy a bus ticket now what you're literally deposited back into society

00:15:16.200 yeah with nothing with nothing literally nothing yeah what was your family support like during that

00:15:21.100 time um so me and my father were already rocky yeah like i my i hadn't talked to my father in like

00:15:31.520 three and a half years like it's one of those like i had a beef with him but i always respect him

00:15:36.860 right right like that's something that the bible says you should always honor and respect your father

00:15:41.100 and your mother and i always will honor my father and my mother but we were beefing before i went into

00:15:46.360 to prison and um i knew that i did not want to go back i needed to change the surroundings of where i lived

00:15:54.040 yeah um so i decided instead of going back to virginia i'm going to be released to north carolina

00:16:00.540 where my father was living so he i went to transition at my father i think i've lasted

00:16:05.900 two months and then i left to go with an ex-girlfriend that i used to be with before i

00:16:10.800 went to prison so the support was it was there um but even with the support i still really had to

00:16:16.720 work hard really really had to work hard well it's a whole new environment you got a new set of rules

00:16:21.560 you got to try to follow right you just you probably just finished adjusting to the prison rule and now

00:16:26.000 you got to now had to relearn everything relearn everything like um i think the best thing you

00:16:34.040 could if we use cell phones the flip cell phone with a panda bear black and white panda bear was

00:16:39.480 like the hottest thing you could have i could to coming home you have facebook and all these different

00:16:44.520 things and then the phone rings in the car and i'm like holy shit the phone's ringing in the car

00:16:50.380 like so it was kind of a culture shock for me but um i didn't let it stop me man i mean challenge

00:16:57.360 after challenge after challenge i had to overcome it so craig um back in i'd say probably 2004 2005

00:17:05.980 i spent an afternoon in the riley county jail oh really so i knew before i ever researched it i could 0.98

00:17:14.460 see that you'd been in the clink i had that kind of connection with you get the fuck out of here 0.97

00:17:19.240 real recognize real you know what i'm saying yeah yeah but but it also here's my question for you we 1.00

00:17:27.320 were we were talking a little bit he's fucking hard this motherfucker's heart is nails 1.00

00:17:31.560 he's going in real i was like well soon as god he was underselling bibles that's what he went in for 1.00

00:17:37.220 you guys talking about jelly and syrup i'm talking about almond butter right here

00:17:40.940 that is hilarious no but uh in all seriousness so you you were talking a little bit before

00:17:47.820 we actually name new meaning to the word nut butter huh

00:17:50.480 no but uh you know we were talking a little bit before we started recording you're talking about

00:17:56.520 kind of your your family background that kind of thing and i think you'd be the first to say

00:18:00.240 nothing forced you into the decisions that you made no there were no factors that that compelled you

00:18:06.340 to do that but i'm curious what were the lies that you believed or embraced that led you to make

00:18:14.640 those bad choices um can you clarify more about what you mean yeah like i mean what what really

00:18:21.820 was the impetus for you deciding okay well i've got i've got a mom and dad i knew a little bit about

00:18:26.900 the bible in terms of honoring my mom and dad so it sounds like you had a little bit of a solid

00:18:31.500 foundation yeah what were the factors that kind of contributed to you going down that path uh and

00:18:38.340 that's a good question that's something i often try to critique if i could go back so that i can

00:18:42.980 connect with other with youth that may be going through that transition maybe they've gotten in

00:18:47.440 trouble or something and i you know we all hear like this right now in our society how important

00:18:54.600 fathers are right and you know i have a father but my mother and father they went through a divorce

00:18:59.720 right so my even though i had a great father that was always a father he was not there per se like

00:19:06.460 if you had a father that was always there but when he was there he he instilled certain values and

00:19:12.600 principles in me um so me taking that path was more so a decision on my part um but i they i guess my

00:19:23.280 they raised me to they've always raised me to work hard right so that the if i were to say lies

00:19:31.520 lies in a sense of um like let's say the whole black thing like oh you're black and because you're 0.98

00:19:42.640 black you got to really really work your ass off because man they don't want to see nobody wants to 1.00

00:19:47.920 see you excel and this that and the third so if that if i were to say that's a lie that that is one 0.99

00:19:52.920 of the lies um that i would say uh as far as just society yeah per se um another lie would be

00:20:01.500 people constantly no matter what color you are people constantly would say oh you can't do something

00:20:08.440 or oh man you're done now you're a felon you ain't gonna get your gun rights back you're done oh life is 0.50

00:20:16.420 gonna be so hard for you man you're gonna have to just get a construction job and that kind of

00:20:21.800 right right which obviously i've defied all of those um lies thus far so like your mistakes define 0.97

00:20:28.280 you from here on out yeah like like that's it you got a black cloud you're gonna be a black sheep 0.98

00:20:32.760 now i think they start that now they're starting i mean like if we're being we're gonna have an 0.95

00:20:37.100 honest conversation this is where we get into the crt stuff you know they look they look at black

00:20:43.240 children and they look the people who trust them the most their parents their teacher or i'm sorry

00:20:48.980 the people they look up to for guidance parents teachers uh school officials okay athletes and

00:20:55.120 that big athletes like they're the gatekeepers of bro how can we we can't look and i'm getting way

00:21:02.460 ahead of myself here but the truth is is that dude society creates this scenario where black children 0.84

00:21:09.640 do not believe they have the opportunity to win and if you convince a child no matter what color 0.65

00:21:16.060 that they cannot do something because their their pigment is different than i mean bro first of all 0.91

00:21:23.700 are we that primitive of a species where we are literally evolved from fucking who knows how long 0.99

00:21:32.580 we're still arguing over the pigment of people's skin yeah so unfortunate it's fucking dude it's so 0.97

00:21:41.040 elementary and primitive that if you really think about it it's it's sad it's sad that we do that 0.97

00:21:48.100 in this country and and and now we have these systemic things like crt which we want to talk about real

00:21:55.500 systemic racism the real systemic racism is looking at a black child or a brown child and saying

00:22:02.460 you can't be anything because you were born here looking like that or on the flip side telling a 0.80

00:22:08.660 little white child or something wrong they're inherently going to be racist just because they're 0.98

00:22:12.300 right dude that it's crazy it's fucked up i argue with these people constantly yeah online they think 0.99

00:22:19.460 that everybody white is racist inherently like if you had a child the moment that the child is born 0.99

00:22:26.160 it's a racist child because they're white it's like like that is pure evil yeah in hatred like that's 1.00

00:22:32.080 like what what i watch my son walk in that classroom i don't give a shit of a black white 1.00

00:22:36.420 pink purple boy girl that he's going and play yeah exactly the kids don't know what the hell is going 0.98

00:22:40.800 on they don't look at things at that lens and i guess to go into your question that's the lie 0.97

00:22:45.440 like oh because you're black you got to work so much harder but guess what you're white and you 1.00

00:22:51.260 got to work so much harder this spanish guy over here he he's got to work so much everybody has to 1.00

00:22:56.960 work so much harder if you want to be actually be anything that's the thing that gets lost craig

00:23:01.680 is like dude we it's it's hard for fucking everybody it's not easy for anybody and dude 0.98

00:23:07.540 are there scenarios still in this country where a black person may be treated differently than a 0.96

00:23:14.220 white person yeah there probably are but i would argue that those scenarios are based off of previous

00:23:20.500 experiences it's a personal bias correct so like if you have a police officer who is uh a little 0.98

00:23:27.880 nervous because he's got three black males in front of him well the reason he's fucking nervous is 0.94

00:23:33.100 because he's been in this situation before and things have happened usually or they happen to their 0.98

00:23:38.380 partner correct so we and we talked about this on the black square episode you know if we really want 0.99

00:23:44.080 to fix shit we have to fucking all grow the fuck up and say hey dude this ain't about black or white or 0.98

00:23:50.160 brown or red or yellow or anything this is about us being good people and good individuals and 0.99

00:23:55.060 taking the leadership in all of our communities and teaching them the right things whether i'm a

00:24:01.300 white man and you know speaking to to my little circle of people or uh you as a black man you're 0.99

00:24:08.280 speaking to the people that you influence the way to fix this shit guys is that we all have to say 1.00

00:24:12.940 hey we're not buying this shit no more and we're going to be above it and we're going to teach the 0.99

00:24:17.260 right things and be the right things yeah be the example yeah the problem right now though is that 0.98

00:24:22.080 we're trying to create solutions for things that aren't really problems right and then the things

00:24:26.900 that are really problems we ignore yeah right so so one of the things that really caught me off guard

00:24:32.400 have you guys seen the new trailer for the movie karen have you seen that i haven't seen it so

00:24:37.000 well i want to touch on it because you've actually you've talked about it but so this new movie is

00:24:44.360 coming out called karen and so basically it's creating this idea that every single black person

00:24:50.500 that buys a house in a white neighborhood is going to get attacked by a white person 0.93

00:24:54.000 right like that's the overarching theme of this what's the move what's the propaganda so what's

00:24:58.920 the movie about it's about a black family moving into an all-white neighborhood and their next-door 1.00

00:25:03.480 neighbor karen is that let me tell it how this is real as fuck let me tell you how this shit is man 0.99

00:25:09.620 the karen movie is about a racist white karen is they call her karen she gets a new black couple 1.00

00:25:18.080 in their neighborhood and she's apparently she's racist and she starts terrorizing and trying to kill 0.99

00:25:23.760 their neighbor brother's a cop but it if the brother's a cop but it's propaganda so she gets 0.97

00:25:30.120 him to harass these people too like all of them are in on it they're terrorizing black folks it's all 0.98

00:25:35.500 the propaganda that's going to create a healthy fucking it does not help it's racially charged 0.99

00:25:40.300 it's antagonistic it's more propaganda and it's stereotyping i bet it doesn't get banned from 0.79

00:25:45.840 twitter and facebook oh absolutely not and this is the thing like we live in a country where freedom

00:25:50.500 of speech yeah you can express and do whatever you want to do but it doesn't necessarily mean you

00:25:55.920 you should do it but hey you have the freedom to do it but how would the same people that say they

00:26:01.960 want equality the social justice warrior right the people that are running around with the black 1.00

00:26:06.380 squares and they're pumping their fish in the air and they're all the black love and pro black and all 0.99

00:26:10.580 that stuff right do you notice that most those people are fucking white right i know i see them 1.00

00:26:17.300 out there washing people's fucking feet can you imagine that shit they're washing people's funky 1.00

00:26:22.740 ass feet don't touch my fucking pumping their fish in the air with solidarity reviews we get bro 1.00

00:26:42.360 dj are fucking laughing laughing at it so dude but remember that one we got a few weeks ago where 0.99

00:26:46.700 that dude was like or the woman was like yeah just another white guy who talks about how he has black 1.00

00:26:51.960 friends and then but then they go on and and they fucking read it and you could tell it's coming 1.00

00:26:58.300 from a white person yeah like and it's like bro you don't even know what the fuck you're talking 0.99

00:27:03.160 about right none of the hate that i ever get for talking about these things ever ever ever it's 0.98

00:27:08.460 always white cushy liberals who grew up middle class or upper middle class who and dude the truth

00:27:15.040 is they feel guilty for them not having any resistance so they got a warrior for everybody else's 1.00

00:27:20.460 shit right and like dude right y'all motherfuckers need to shut the fuck up yeah because you don't 1.00

00:27:24.500 have any real experience you don't you don't even know what it's really like you've never been out 1.00

00:27:29.020 there in the real world yep and dude we're fucking tired of it that's the biggest thing right because 0.85

00:27:34.360 the the narrative it can be scary right so like seeing that movie karen right if if let's say this

00:27:39.960 was pre i bought my house right then the movie came out and i saw that movie it would probably scare

00:27:44.820 the shit out of me right but the truth is it's gonna shape some people's minds yeah i mean it's gonna 0.93

00:27:48.220 fuck with some people it's similar i mean you just moved into a prime a primarily white 0.99

00:27:51.860 you have a karen so that's the thing it's like it's like but so you hear this narrative but 0.99

00:31:08.300 knock on the door i'm like you're like oh shit here it comes so i open the door and it's this 1.00

00:31:16.280 little white lady and she has this fucking cup of a little tray of cupcake that's it that's it 1.00

00:31:21.160 and like i love white people blew my mind because i'm like bro i've seen this shit in the movies 1.00

00:31:25.440 like you know what i'm saying this is interesting i fucking say i take those cupcakes and we go in 0.99

00:31:30.240 the kitchen and we like alex is like she's like babe should we eat them like you think we should 0.91

00:31:33.180 eat them like i'm like hey listen i'm like listen if this if this is gonna take me out i'm gonna let 0.96

00:31:38.980 it fucking take me out i fucking ate it it's the best fucking cupcake i've ever had in my life 0.97

00:31:42.540 and and now me and her husband we compete for who who has the best lawn like dude it's beautiful 1.00

00:31:48.340 it's like so you're doing real white people bro listen the flag is fine my fucking stripes are 0.99

00:31:53.240 getting on point you know what i'm saying white stripe yeah white new balance i gotta get the 0.98

00:31:57.140 new balances i ain't there yet i got you but i got the gas grill but i mean my point is though it's

00:32:01.260 like so you hear these these narratives that come out right and it's the same analogy that i gave

00:32:06.120 i might have been the black square too right it's like you're sitting inside your house in this box 0.91

00:32:09.620 and somebody comes in every fucking day in the room so they don't go outside it's raining 0.98

00:32:13.560 right like okay cool i don't want to get wet and the next day they come in hey bro listen you go 0.99

00:32:18.280 outside it's a fucking thunderstorm don't go out there there's fucking tornadoes you don't go outside 0.99

00:32:22.460 and they come in the next time bro there's a fucking hurricane but then you look at them like you're not 0.99

00:32:26.200 even fucking wet right and so so you you go outside of that narrative you go you step outside and it's 0.96

00:32:32.160 fucking beautiful right like and so like that's how you have to challenge those narratives and so this this 0.96

00:32:37.100 thing about the fucking karen movie it really bothers me because that's gonna hold a lot of 0.98

00:32:41.360 people back from even fucking attempting to be homeowners right and the reality is is you go in 1.00

00:32:47.240 those situations gonna be fucking 10 times better than what you're the bullshit that you're dealing 0.99

00:32:50.680 with right now like where we came from on the loft that was downtown in st louis we had protests up and 0.99

00:32:55.680 down our street people were breaking fucking windows bro there were shootings on the street every 0.99

00:32:59.220 fucking every night i said i've sent you videos like they were fucking carjackings right in front of my 0.99

00:33:03.680 you know i'm saying so it's like it's stereotyping we gotta break not healthy especially with the 0.99

00:33:08.320 climate that we have right now in our society it's stereotyping and what's funny these social

00:33:13.200 justice warriors these gatekeepers of the world that that are already successful to tell a whole

00:33:18.060 another group of people right we all know life and death is in the tongue you can speak life over

00:33:23.440 somebody but you can also speak death and it's funny that these gatekeepers these people that are

00:33:27.980 already successful these grifters they always speak death over other people saying no there's

00:33:32.800 something systemic there's something that's holding you back right because of the color of your skin

00:33:37.360 so when you see these type of um poetic uh artwork displayed through hollywood like karen it's so

00:33:46.480 it's so much stereotype and propaganda you have to ask these people hey it's wrong wrong is wrong

00:33:52.720 would you like it if they made a movie a white director made a movie called shaquisha

00:33:57.440 a angry black racially charged woman is willing to fight you in any fast food restaurant or airport 1.00

00:34:04.720 you know i mean it's it's stereotyping and then it's just wrong so i can't stand that movie

00:34:10.860 i can't stand that that this is happening in our country well i think that craig too bro i think the

00:34:17.000 important point of this is you we have to understand this isn't just art it's not just art no it's not

00:34:22.480 this is designed strategically that's correct so so you know we when you when we sit here and we 0.84

00:34:28.140 talk about fuck it's wrong well it's only wrong based on our value system yep it's not wrong based 0.76

00:34:33.300 on our value system of saying hey we need to create some stuff so that this keeps the division going so 0.99

00:34:39.660 that we can that's exactly correct because dude you guys whether you're black white left right it i don't 0.96

00:34:45.440 give a fuck by the way i don't care there's a lot of people from the left listen to this show 0.97

00:34:49.300 i consider myself part of the middle the left don't consider me that they consider me far right 0.99

00:34:54.480 because everybody's far right that doesn't agree with the narrative 100 yeah i'm okay with that too

00:34:59.380 i don't really give a fuck what you guys think my job here and what i strive for is solutions 0.81

00:35:04.400 and coming together in unity and it and and dude we we cannot do that when we have people who are 0.94

00:35:11.780 constantly fear-mongering and throwing a message to people because bro you can't if let's just take

00:35:18.540 your example dj you know you have someone let's just say who's told a certain thing their whole 0.99

00:35:24.020 life and then you know they start to see a little bit you're like oh fuck dude i don't know this 0.73

00:35:30.300 doesn't seem right and then all of a sudden you got this movie or that propaganda or this message 0.98

00:35:35.000 coming from lebron james or this or that or this you're like see i knew that shit was true so it's like 0.84

00:35:40.980 it's very dangerous for us not to question what the purpose is for the information that we're 0.99

00:35:49.040 receiving no matter where you are whether you're a black man or a white man or a brown man or like 0.95

00:35:54.360 to me i don't give a fuck what you are i see everybody the same as americans yeah um and i wish we 0.98

00:35:59.440 we would get we're moving away from that i think the last couple years i actually think at this moment 0.96

00:36:05.600 right now we are actually moving towards that for the first time that i've been able to notice 0.97

00:36:11.040 because i see a lot of people who are frustrated with the politics i mean we fucking all are bro 0.81

00:36:18.040 every single one of us bro we all know we all know that when we go out in the real world and we go to 0.94

00:36:24.740 the store or we go to here we go to that most people are good most yeah and dude they're feeding 0.98

00:36:31.280 this shit down our throats so that in my opinion and this is what i see i'm pretty good strategic 0.96

00:36:37.060 thinker um to keep certain segments of the population where they are yeah so that they 0.99

00:36:44.140 can continue to get the vote for them you know what i mean like bro like you can't vote for hey we're 0.92

00:36:51.380 gonna fix all these problems if there's not any fucking problems so we have to create the problems to 0.99

00:36:56.320 create the vote to create these guys power and when we think about it like that it makes perfect 0.98

00:37:01.260 sense well i mean andy it's every election all we always hear is these campaigns vote or die

00:37:09.040 vote or die right and it's like we need change we need change but i'm just going to talk about me

00:37:17.100 the black community yeah it's very monolithic right 97 clip votes for the same party every single time 0.90

00:37:26.200 right and it's like these people are always saying we need change we need change but they keep voting for

00:37:30.980 the same party which some most of these states expecting a different outcome expecting a different

00:37:36.800 outcome most of these states are blue states right ran by black mayors ran by uh they have black police

00:37:45.540 chiefs some of these inner cities have a predominant black police officers so it's like hey you keep

00:37:52.840 putting the same political party that you want change it's the same one that you guys keep voting for

00:37:59.120 in the same states that you live in that run the same cities and by the way they're coming with the 0.97

00:38:04.060 same message look at all over and over and over look at all this problem the problem never gets fucking 0.95

00:38:08.760 fixed at all it's been 50 years when we're gonna fix it guys right right and i feel like people are 0.88

00:38:14.500 invested to keep it going oh you cannot convince me that america is more racist today than it was for

00:38:20.960 previous years like obama right obama did a speech in 2013 in morehouse college and he's he and you can

00:38:28.420 look it up this you can quote it he says it doesn't matter what your upbringing was it doesn't matter if

00:38:34.200 you've been faced with discrimination nobody cares nobody cares whatever you think you're going through

00:38:39.880 it literally is a pale compared to previous generations we have opportunities he also spoke about how we have to

00:38:46.780 compete against the world people from coming from other humbling beginnings other countries to come 0.72

00:38:52.280 to america and they strive they literally strive like if i use the nigerian right there's nigerians 0.96

00:38:59.100 that's blacker than all of us in this room but not the nigerians considered um they they actually refer 0.78

00:39:05.660 to them superior in performance when it comes to academia even in business financing they're black if it's 1.00

00:39:13.120 color of a skin and there's someone on the 13th floor and the system is so biased towards the color 0.82

00:39:18.660 of the skin why is the nigerian have a pass the nigerian comes here and destroys man yeah so it's it's 1.00

00:39:25.300 that is just one example of many so it's and like i was telling you in this country the american dream

00:39:31.680 the system the system will work if you work the system right if you make good decisions and you live a

00:39:36.820 life and you have you build relationship currencies uh and you work and you work and you work and you never

00:39:41.640 give up and you're consistent and you follow the universal principle of success right which cares

00:39:47.620 nothing about what color you are cares nothing about how big you are or how skinny you are how tall how

00:39:53.740 short you are what your creed is or what your religion you are if you practice those universal principles of

00:39:59.260 success daily consistently with urgency and patience at the same time and you're applying yourself and you're

00:40:06.660 crafting your craft molding your craft learning new skill and applying it and bringing value to the

00:40:11.840 marketplace it will in return pay for it will pay off but people have lost how to win they literally

00:40:18.960 lost how to win so i always love to use my story just to inspire people and encourage them that hey

00:40:25.420 this same america with all these narratives and all this stuff that's going on like you've got to be able

00:40:30.640 to take the cloak off wake up from the coma if you're in one move the dust out of your eye and really look

00:40:38.660 at the clear picture of what it really takes to be successful and really make something of yourself how to 0.96

00:40:43.260 make a difference right it's possible right i'm the same guy an american dream built myself up i made dumb

00:40:51.660 decisions turn my life around i have a significant amount of success now i got so much more to go

00:40:56.740 i get plenty of confirmations that i'm on the right path got all my civil rights back remember

00:41:02.720 i went to prison for shooting two people the same country that they say is so racist and the system

00:41:07.600 is against me because of the color of my skin i got my civil rights back including my second amendment

00:41:12.360 rights the same i went to prison lost all my rights for shooting people and now i received all my rights

00:41:18.260 back well now you're a successful business owner dude and you're only going further that way yeah you know

00:41:25.540 so here's something i was wondering about you um when you when and i think this kind of lends itself

00:41:34.180 to what vaughn asked earlier in a different way so when you were when you were uh running the streets

00:41:40.400 and doing the bad shit yeah okay did you have a different mentality in terms of like the victim mindset 0.67

00:41:47.620 then um i never had me personally i never had a victim mindset but i will say i didn't see a vision 0.99

00:41:54.460 for myself at the time yeah there's no i didn't i and that's just as bad as the crt shit by the way 0.89

00:42:01.600 you know and we tell what's just as bad is telling people not only can they not be anything but not 0.98

00:42:10.020 giving them any fucking leadership to be anything and i think that's what's missing in the country 0.66

00:42:14.260 right now yeah what's missing is we don't have good leadership right we all know you guys are leaders 0.98

00:42:20.480 you guys run a very successful company it would not be as successful if you didn't have the right

00:42:26.040 leadership right so leadership's important our country does not have good leadership i always use

00:42:30.920 an example like if we use history um you guys know who booker t washington is right i was just gonna bring

00:42:36.620 him up booker t washington is like one of the original conservatives right i'm conservative book yeah

00:42:42.220 you had booker t it was binary you had booker t washington versus w.e.b du bois w.e.b du bois was

00:42:49.400 like an agitator no we gotta fight we gotta riot we gotta burn things down we gotta agitate to get

00:42:56.380 progress in this country right what do we see right now we have the w.e.b du bois frame of leadership

00:43:03.520 right now within just using the black community uh and white liberals as well in this country it's to

00:43:09.580 agitate it's to push push push that's what we have when versus uh booker t washington was hey

00:43:15.640 um let's we're all in america let's respect each other let's respect ourselves let's build ourselves

00:43:22.940 up let's uh empower each other through education through learning let's build businesses let's go

00:43:29.400 out and add value to the marketplace let's pull ourselves up by the bootstrap right which he was one

00:43:34.020 of the people where eventually the president consulted him yeah did they consult w.e.b du bois no

00:43:39.720 right not saying that that w.e.b du bois didn't have a legacy but booker t washington's legacy is a whole

00:43:45.940 so much more powerful right he didn't take an anti-white stance or an anti-american stance so

00:43:52.160 if we look at this country that's what we're going through right now just using our past you know what

00:43:57.140 amazes me about that comparison that you made uh craig is that you look into both of those guys lives

00:44:03.340 and booker t washington horrific background up from slavery yep w.e.b du bois he comes from

00:44:11.380 entitled cush entitled when it was free he's he's got all these degrees he's respected by all these

00:44:17.820 academics and yeah i mean he booker t washington by today's standards he would be considered pretty

00:44:24.120 pretty controversial because he was like they would call him what they call me uncle tom that's right

00:44:29.620 and he didn't he say basically listen i'm not concerned about segregation or desegregation i'm

00:44:35.860 concerned with us taking care of our business and becoming so excellent at what we do that eventually

00:44:40.860 the white man says huh let's do business with those guys right exactly and it's becoming undeniable and

00:44:46.400 and and du bois didn't but du bois essentially say oh you're capitulating you're just basically i mean

00:44:51.840 i don't want to use the term enemies but they essentially called him the white man's house

00:44:55.420 you know and uh and but what what's fascinating to me about that is that if you look at the history

00:45:01.200 of the civil rights movement you got your you got your booker t washington you got your du bois but

00:45:05.900 then even with you know in the 60s you had martin luther king who wasn't like modern day people saying

00:45:11.460 america sucks he was saying actually american ideals are amazing the problem is is you all aren't living

00:45:17.560 up to your ideals now if we actually live up to our ideals preach but but what's amazing is if you 0.93

00:45:24.420 get into if you get into martin luther king half of his quotes are from the founding fathers half of

00:45:30.360 his quotes are basically saying i love america but you guys aren't living up to america whereas you got

00:45:35.860 the the malcolm x over there going screw america by any means necessary plymouth rock landed on us etc etc

00:45:42.240 so my question is you mentioned that that the current black community is so monolithic in its culture

00:45:47.480 well i think they're presented that way bro presented so so so that's a media manipulation

00:45:52.800 i just have to jump in yeah a lot of them are like non-partisan you know what i mean i think there's

00:45:59.320 i think from from what i've observed is there's a lot of the black culture who has conservative beliefs

00:46:08.700 absolutely and just call them the wrong thing well well we're raised that way yeah for sure and dude

00:46:14.580 the thing is is that that now it's more so they don't want to say out loud that because the truth

00:46:21.220 is bro that du bois mentality exists within the black culture right now anytime a young black man or

00:46:29.020 young black woman tries to better themselves or goes out in the traditional path of trying to become 1.00

00:46:35.580 successful and does so in the company of white people they are told that they're a sellout yep they 1.00

00:46:41.120 are told that they are kissing ass to the white man or you're acting white so yeah so so what does 0.99

00:46:46.620 that do that all they're doing is going out in the world bro the world the statistics are uh 12 to 13 0.99

00:46:52.680 percent african-american that means most of the people are going to be a different color than you

00:46:56.920 if you're black yeah so if you're out in the world and you're trying to make your way and you're trying 0.99

00:47:00.740 to do all this shit and you got all your people saying hey you're fucking sellout that's not a good 1.00

00:47:05.780 it's like a crab in a barrel that's right that's a cultural issue that has to be fixed we should be 1.00

00:47:11.600 rewarding and praising people who go out and try to better themselves it's not selling out anything

00:47:18.500 it's working together to make a better place all right 100 that is one of the most damaging

00:47:24.280 but dude when you're 14 or 15 or 16 years old and you're saying i want to do this i want to do that and

00:47:29.660 i want to do this and your your your big brother or your big cousins down the street who are 25 0.99

00:47:34.420 who are you know doing their fucking fucked up shit that you were doing yeah that shit's exciting 1.00

00:47:39.400 yeah right well no it's not just that but they're telling these younger impressionable people you 1.00

00:47:43.600 don't have a fucking chance to do that bro and if you do do it you're a sellout to me right like dude 0.95

00:47:48.680 that that sort of resistance is wrong it is it's um american i always say we need culture reform in 0.99

00:47:56.820 america yeah for sure there's so many aspects of american culture that needs reform right in the

00:48:02.880 black community in america right it needs culture reform as well they glorify the badass syndrome 1.00

00:48:09.920 is what i call it it's glorified it's even in the music right sometimes i refer to the music as

00:48:14.880 suicidal poetry with good beats yeah right it's constantly bro i love it but i'm not gonna argue

00:48:20.280 with that dude i love it too it's got good it's suicidal poetry sometimes with good beats it's like

00:48:25.000 man yeah yeah yeah but the whole time you're rocking out they're talking about killing people

00:48:29.240 and it's getting you in that mindset of the negative it's putting you in the badass syndrome

00:48:34.800 yeah yeah i'm lifting weights yeah wow yeah you know what i mean so it's like there's a lot of

00:48:40.400 influence yeah that um really it's just overly glorified like they sometimes we overly glorified 0.99

00:48:47.980 ben from the hood yeah right like that shit ain't cool it's not cool at all man like we we should 0.90

00:48:54.540 glorify dr ben uh not not dr ben um ben carson yeah right we should glorify thomas this person 0.99

00:49:00.280 being a doctor yeah you know what i mean but but i guess and maybe in some instances they do

00:49:06.180 right but i didn't where was it at i didn't see it when i was growing up you know everybody wanted

00:49:11.260 to be part of the narrative bro it really is plenty of black successful people out there they're just

00:49:16.440 not promoted they're not because that's not part of the indoctrination the indoctrination is 0.65

00:49:21.600 black people need to stay poor they need to stay fighting at their throats they need to uh create 1.00

00:49:27.340 these things so that they can vote for us to fix the problems that don't actually exist exactly and 0.98

00:49:31.220 that's that is we have to get smarter about that and like dude this is not a to me this is not a 0.89

00:49:37.160 race issue this is a fucking american culture issue it's like we need culture reform i agree with 0.98

00:49:42.820 another question too it's like when you look at when you have these successful black people right 1.00

00:49:47.000 you don't you don't see them out at fucking blm protests holding up signs no but you do see some 0.98

00:49:53.640 of them who are the ones that are gatekeepers the ones that are glorified by the media 0.99

00:49:59.400 perpetuate the shit they're a part of the machine yeah but that's the thing it's like a democratic 0.95

00:50:04.240 cabal but they but like the real successful like so like a dave stewart for example right he's not 0.99

00:50:08.680 gonna be at a blm protest but ceo that man gives technology that man gives he's from ferguson

00:50:13.620 billions of dollars every fucking year no no no no he's multi-billion no i'm saying but he gives 0.92

00:50:18.780 millions oh yes you know i'm saying like he he does actual change he fit he and he kept it here 0.99

00:50:23.440 right he kept it yeah he kept it imagine how many jobs he created through that man there's there's

00:50:29.600 i want to say there's at least 6 000 employees in maryland height right now just from him you know

00:50:35.060 i'm saying so it's like the real successful people you're not gonna hear them get on those like

00:50:38.960 you're not gonna hear dave stewart say anything's holding them back that's what my

00:50:43.560 issue is it's like but i gotta hear lebron james tell me that there's something dude it drives me 0.99

00:50:47.620 insane no fucking sense bro you're fucking one of the richest dudes in the fucking world 0.98

00:50:51.860 it literally drives me insane why is he because he fucking worked art right right it's the i call 1.00

00:51:00.480 them they think that they're gatekeepers most of the people that tell you there's something in this 0.96

00:51:04.280 country is holding you back the people that are plastered and overly perpetuated on media they push

00:51:08.680 that narrative that message does anybody ever ask these people are successful why are they speaking

00:51:14.880 death over me right telling me that there's something that holds me back nothing holds me

00:51:19.460 back these people are successful and i when people i argue with them i said well are you successful

00:51:24.720 yeah but my but but you're an anomaly and an antidote and an exception to the outlier but i'm like

00:51:30.800 your your story and what you did you can't speak for the totality you can't speak for everybody

00:51:35.920 but i'm like but how are you going to speak for everybody to say that something holds them back

00:51:39.660 well craig isn't anybody who's who's successful in anomaly you know i'm saying like isn't isn't that

00:51:46.820 isn't that the point right the point is it's fucking hard for everybody it is yeah and like i was 0.96

00:51:52.100 telling you i'm an anomaly amongst my fucking friends and network and i mean why because i fucking 0.99

00:51:57.380 haven't taken a motherfucking day off in fucking 23 years you sacrifice yeah maybe you didn't go to 0.99

00:52:03.020 that party no you didn't do that drug it was an investment you you risk yeah you you did the 0.99

00:52:08.880 necessary things you never quit right could other people at the time did what you guys did they quit

00:52:14.400 but they quit yeah it's the same thing with me i went to prison but i mean i don't i don't i don't

00:52:19.400 see how that's a race thing it's not a race thing yeah it's it's like i was telling you um when you're

00:52:24.940 born you're born looking like your mother and your father but you're gonna die looking like the 0.96

00:52:28.620 decisions that you make you're gonna die with looking like the decisions that you make so are 0.75

00:52:34.180 you out there being a thug in the street and you die that way that's that's gonna paint based off

00:52:39.380 the decisions that you make or were you a philanthropist and you made yourself extremely

00:52:43.720 successful and you donated and gave to charities and you tried to make a difference in the way that

00:52:49.040 you wanted to make a difference or maybe you just never gave up and you did something amazing or

00:52:53.620 you invented something or you are a great artist or a poet or an actress whatever it is right and it

00:53:00.220 always goes down to your decision decisions literally determine your outcome it's it's not a

00:53:06.120 color thing me going to prison was not because of my color it was my decision me being having the

00:53:11.800 success that i have now being in business it's not because of color it's the decisions right it goes

00:53:17.080 back the universal principle of success does not care about what color you are it's the decisions

00:53:22.780 that you make daily over a course of time period you can't argue with me you sit bring me somebody

00:53:29.780 that you feel is something's holding back that there's something in the system let's dig into

00:53:34.100 their life let me see their bank account let me see their daily uh activity what what are they

00:53:39.500 deciding to do with what's their spending habits what's their spending what's their earning habits did

00:53:43.160 they pick up a book did they listen to a podcast did they get try to apply and go to college or go

00:53:49.000 into the military or did they purchase a program something that's going to further educate them

00:53:54.280 are they trying to learn a skill all we have to do is dig into anybody's life it's not a white or black 0.99

00:54:00.020 thing you can make dumb decisions like i was telling you and if you today started making dumb decisions 0.97

00:54:06.020 and i'm just going to drink and i'm stressed or whatever and you started just frivolously spending 0.99

00:54:11.820 and making poor leadership decisions believe me your business is going to start tanking over time

00:54:17.600 it's like the the the the water fountain that drips the doop doop and over time before you know it your

00:54:24.500 water bill is like five hundred dollars you know what i mean life is the same way your decisions

00:54:30.980 what do they call it the slight edge effect oh yeah the compounding interest right yeah your daily

00:54:37.240 decisions compound whether they're positive decisions or negative decisions they compound

00:54:42.660 using me do you know how many people come home from prison if we use the statistics it's not a white

00:54:50.380 or black thing or some system it's their decisions i could have they could have made decisions like me

00:54:55.960 which some do and they make like completely inspire people and turn things around or they can go back

00:55:03.140 to the same things that put them into prison in the first place so it's decisions it's decisions

00:55:09.380 it's decisions and it's just unfortunate i think people need like i was telling you people need to

00:55:15.440 learn how to win again they don't know how to win but i can tell you how you can win yeah you want to 0.89

00:55:20.220 know how you can win dj they need to listen to real as fuck you know what i mean that's a plug for 0.99

00:55:26.060 your ass dude let me ask you this like let's just say you know because we get a lot of younger young 0.99

00:55:31.600 bucks listening you know what i'm saying like people who are 16 17 18 um let's just say that 1.00

00:55:38.780 we've got some of these these black and brown listeners right now who are young and they've been 0.99

00:55:43.960 told uh hey man you ain't gonna be shit you know it's gonna it's gonna be 10 times harder for you 0.99

00:55:49.920 than it is for everybody else etc etc etc all the shit and what what would you say to that person 0.99

00:55:55.240 uh you gotta know how you gotta stand on what you want for yourself right you have to be able to 0.97

00:56:05.080 drown out the noise and understand it doesn't matter what color you are everybody is faced with

00:56:10.720 challenges right everybody's faced with things that they have to overcome like i was telling you guys

00:56:16.660 earlier um i love the quote i got this quote from jim rome right one of the best motivational speakers

00:56:22.560 that out there he passed away he was one of the greats he said life and business are like the

00:56:27.880 changing seasons right you're gonna go through winter spring summers and falls throughout your

00:56:33.720 whole entire life so with that noise with that what you have to decipher out of right things that

00:56:39.820 people may be trying to tell you oh you can't do this or oh you can't do that and you can't do this

00:56:44.780 because of that or you don't what makes you think you can do that use that as a fuel

00:56:48.880 to push you on i promise you man i promise you that

00:56:54.300 life will reward you for not giving up and working and applying yourself over and over and

00:57:01.960 just knowing it's going to happen for you it will man it will sometimes let's say you want to make

00:57:07.960 it into the nba not everybody makes it into the nba but through your hard work it's like you can

00:57:12.700 laterally pivot to the same place that you wanted to be in right you know what i mean it's just weird

00:57:18.020 how it works that way so what i would tell them is just never give up learn to drown out the noise

00:57:22.840 and use those things that people say that you can't do as fuel to keep going forward when you

00:57:28.880 look at pivots because you know you look at a lot of you know rags to riches stories and there's there's

00:57:33.460 a moment right you go to you look at a drug addict who switches and turns your life around you look at

00:57:37.360 somebody who goes to prison and turns their life around there's usually rock bottom yeah like rock

00:57:41.600 bottom that creates the pivot for you when was rock bottom like what was it when you walked in you know with

00:57:47.480 your tote or was there a moment in prison where you had that experience where it was like 0.96

00:57:51.520 all right man i ain't doing this shit no more um prison definitely made me feel like man i've hit rock 0.97

00:57:58.500 bottom and then since i've been home released from prison i've had other rock bottom moments like 0.97

00:58:05.940 sleeping in my car right i used to work at a gym and literally would sleep behind the gym in my car that

00:58:11.760 was like a rock bottom moment on people's couches and i just always knew this is how it is right now

00:58:19.980 but i know it's going to change for me i'm just going to keep doing the right thing i'm just going

00:58:25.960 to keep doing the right thing and it i mean it's led and opened up so many doors for me and uh i got so

00:58:32.660 much more to give to people i i literally want to dedicate my life to just trying to get people to

00:58:39.120 understand like you just got to keep yes sir it gets dark sometimes well i think you know you you've

00:58:45.780 led into this and there's you know there's a lot of people here today so i've just been trying to

00:58:49.120 to listen and then apply and you talk about you know the persistency of going back and fighting that

00:58:52.800 guy right like keep showing up and i think a lot of that plays back into life and success is you know

00:58:58.280 the first couple years of the first couple challenges man it ain't gonna be fun but you're gonna

00:59:02.860 have to keep getting back up you're gonna have to keep showing up and you're gonna have to keep

00:59:05.720 executing and i think in that a lot of times the young bucks as andrew talks about they get lost

00:59:09.860 in that first part of the process because they don't see success after two weeks or two months 0.98

00:59:13.600 or even shit even two years right you're gonna have to shovel shit for two years to understand it 0.90

00:59:17.880 like all right now i've earned the right to get to the next level i think consistency in in executing 0.98

00:59:23.140 that discipline to the process is huge right for the young guy and i you know when you start to see

00:59:27.940 the successful habits around people who have changed their life there's a moment right a pivot like 0.97

00:59:33.100 for me my relationship's a big thing and there's a pivot that says i'm not doing this shit anymore

00:59:36.960 and i'm going to execute and move forward and then there's that same exact uh parallel in success like 0.99

00:59:43.120 man i'm not doing this shit anymore i'm going to fucking execute i'm going to eliminate my own 0.99

00:59:46.920 excuses i'm going to show up every motherfucking day and i'm at least going to give myself the best 1.00

00:59:51.040 motherfucking shot that i can to win and it's and it's to the principles that you've talked about 0.97

00:59:55.240 over and over again it's removing your own excuses understanding you got to take action or uh take 0.99

00:59:59.700 ownership of your own actions and execute day in there's a little voice that we all have 0.99

01:00:05.940 right everybody has like a bitch assness to it oh yeah you know what i mean there's a little voice 0.99

01:00:12.120 he's a motherfucker isn't he and he's a negotiator it's like um i don't know if you guys ever heard 1.00

01:01:17.920 productive steps to fix a situation exactly yeah and that takes time that takes time you know a lot 1.00

01:01:24.000 of people want to go out and fix their life in one day that bro that's not gonna happen it's it's

01:01:28.720 consistently making the right decisions over time thanks right it's um i think and i'm not trying to

01:01:37.720 get too mystical on you guys i think we don't understand time right we look at time and oh it's

01:01:43.000 an urgency oh shit six years of my life away doing nothing i always tell people like i was released 0.82

01:01:50.920 in 2009 if you would have asked me in 2009 i would see myself here today right now on this podcast with 0.75

01:02:00.080 some very successful people speaking and telling my story i couldn't make the mental leap if you would

01:02:05.000 have asked me five years from when i was released hey you see yourself opening your own gym literally

01:02:11.460 building it from the dirt i couldn't make the mental leap man you got to realize i was just fresh out of

01:02:16.960 prison like man i'm just happy to be released yeah you literally can't make a mental leap so it doesn't

01:02:23.680 matter where wherever you are in your life right you you cannot make a mental leap you don't know

01:02:30.280 where you're going to be five years ten years from now you just have to know i'm going to do the right

01:02:35.120 thing i'm going to keep working my ass off i know what i want and i'm just going to by any means 0.82

01:02:40.460 necessary i'm going to try to figure it out and you're going to fail and you're going to have to

01:02:44.820 overcome and you're going to have little wins that confirm to you you're on the right path keep going

01:02:50.960 and along the way you're going to meet great people you're going to be good people and people are

01:02:56.500 going to help you people are going to see you're trying to help yourself right and i think to the

01:03:01.660 young listeners like they need to understand that like don't beat yourself up so much don't be so hard

01:03:08.400 on yourself you're young some of these people are what 19 20 21 you're young like i came home at 25

01:03:15.200 man i just turned 37 my life is i feel like man my life is just beginning so now that i look at my life

01:03:21.620 i don't look at it it's so overwhelming like i got time like look how much i've accomplished in

01:03:26.920 within just 10 years yeah you know what i mean so like you can't make the mental leap you just know

01:03:32.320 let me apply myself let me listen to the podcast let me listen to the people that are successful

01:03:37.880 what can i learn from them let me apply myself let me listen to that voice that's saying hey you're 0.99

01:03:43.300 being a bitch assness you know you're being lazy stop being stop being entitled stop complaining 1.00

01:03:49.180 let me just work my ass off and figure it out and then one day you look up and you're like 1.00

01:03:54.360 it's funny i tell my homeboy tofer right number one billboard song he's badass he's a badass he's got

01:04:01.120 the patriot song right tofer was a major influence with me and starting to speak out and tell my story

01:04:07.640 i always tell him like dude how now how the hell did i get here right and we laugh about it but really

01:04:14.500 like i i just wish it for everybody and it will happen for you there people have so much greatness

01:04:20.380 and ability in them they just have to understand hey be patient come from a gratitude standpoint

01:04:27.500 but also have urgency with the two and in your urgency you're applying yourself and man one day

01:04:33.280 you'll look up and you'll be like man how did i get here you know what i mean yeah of course i think

01:04:39.080 it's it's hard though especially when you're young man and this is a thing is like retrospective time 0.96

01:04:43.260 goes so fast you know what i mean i'm 40 at 35 it seems like fuck man it was yesterday 0.94

01:04:47.100 but when you're 20 you think 25 is like light years away and 25 to 30 is light years away you're like 0.99

01:04:54.380 dude i can't do that for five fucking years and when you're 40 you look back and think fuck i wish 0.98

01:04:58.000 i had done that five years ago yeah and that that switch is so like you have to learn time's going 0.99

01:05:02.980 either way well you can't control it right and i think the only thing you can't control your actions

01:05:06.880 that happen in those time frames right the days the minutes the decisions and learning that that

01:05:12.340 compounding interest to the slide edge that we talk about you know that compounding interest over 0.93

01:05:17.080 time is your biggest fucking opportunity and the one that most people miss and that's the that's the 0.88

01:05:21.780 thing that you know i wish i could give them a younger version of myself right because we always have 0.97

01:05:24.960 like these little sprint modes you you do great for 90 days what happens you great for 120 you know 0.97

01:05:30.100 what happens to be great for 280 360 you know and you start looking back at time and think fuck man i wish i 0.98

01:05:34.940 had done that 10 years ago and now it's like fuck i can't wait five years and you still you never get 0.89

01:05:40.120 around it but the best time to start any changes today right now you know and understanding that 0.98

01:05:44.380 you're not different we all have the same time the sun rises and sunsets whether you want it to or not 0.97

01:05:49.720 doesn't fucking matter the wind's gonna fucking blow the storm's gonna fucking come what you do 0.98

01:05:54.080 today matters for you not for anybody else because the world don't give a fuck yeah and that's the 0.99

01:05:58.400 difference right like we want to be victimized and this is a little little wolf thing right you want 0.95

01:06:03.200 to you're your own best salesperson you victimize yourself as to why you can't yeah my situation's a 0.99

01:06:07.700 little bit different well it's a little bit different excuses you're right motherfucker but 0.98

01:06:11.160 so is the guy from nigeria right or so is the guy from india from haiti or brazil but yeah but you 0.97

01:06:18.880 know what i'm saying it's like you want to talk about victim well dude we're talking about basic 0.86

01:06:22.700 shit here i mean this is personal responsibility one-on-one it's really fucking simple and this 0.95

01:06:27.440 country was founded upon the idea of creating a pathway for anybody to achieve wealth and prosperity 0.99

01:06:37.060 if they decide they want to trade parts of their life for that and you know people argue well

01:06:43.240 founded by white people who own slaves yeah it was but some things have happened since then that have 0.97

01:06:48.260 changed the fucking game okay we've had we had a uh you know how many hundreds of thousands of white 0.99

01:06:54.700 men die in the civil war to create this scenario one thing that pissed me off about this whole black 1.00

01:06:59.480 lives matter shit that went down was uh you know when they tore down the statue of ulysses s grant that 0.98

01:07:05.520 really irritated the fuck out of me bro because ulysses s grant was a great fucking american and 0.99

01:07:22.980 without him we fuck who knows what would happen yeah and they're tearing out they're like dude we have 1.00

01:07:27.900 such a we have such a poor understanding of what this country is really supposed to be because of the 0.99

01:08:08.980 and that's very frustrating and if we would just you know if we would just because dude there's plenty 0.98

01:08:16.320 of people that know this shit it's just nobody's saying it and one of the things that you were saying 0.94

01:08:21.140 a minute ago you know about topher encouraging you to speak up what what is it like why are people 0.99

01:09:07.240 of the quote-unquote silent majority your motherfuckers that's what our problem is bro we need to stop 1.00

01:09:14.080 being silent that's right they you guys all believe and agree with these things that we're 1.00

01:09:18.080 talking about that are very basic you're too fucking weak to stand up and say no i fucking believe that 1.00

01:09:23.320 and what you're doing is letting all the motherfuckers who are out there fighting for the shit you believe 1.00

01:09:27.220 take all the motherfucking arrows eventually there won't be nobody left take those fucking arrows 1.00

01:09:31.560 and if everybody fucking stand bro me too and if we fucking all stand up together and say no dude fuck you 1.00

01:09:38.100 then they could fuck they could all fuck off it together i mean that's very simple there's a saying 1.00

01:09:43.400 there's a saying you guys can look the saying up i apologize i can't quote the person that said it 0.99

01:09:49.120 there's a saying that says there are many things that i believe that i should not speak on

01:09:53.620 but i should never ever speak on things that i don't believe in there is a lot of things going on

01:09:59.240 in our country right now that they are forcing and overly perpetuating on media

01:10:04.300 people that they think are gatekeepers yeah they're constantly drilling it in you to make you

01:10:09.680 think that it's real and you to believe that that's what's going on to get you to say

01:10:14.440 what you truly don't believe in yeah that your values as a man or a woman or your values as a man of

01:10:20.860 god oh that's evil woman of god it's evil so you should never ever ever speak on things that you do

01:10:27.680 not believe in yeah ever stand on your values man if you're a christian if you're a man or woman

01:10:34.200 of god stand on it yeah stand on your values it's okay you know it's wrong yeah stand on it speak

01:11:37.080 we um we must all hang together or we will hang individually absolutely you know dude i i it's just

01:11:46.040 frustrating for me man because like i see all these people with all this potential of all different

01:12:37.300 sense like why what was the civil rights movement about not compartmentalizing people off color

01:12:42.060 no it's like judging people off it's weird politics gotta go like look it's crazy look we

01:12:47.420 will never win in this country with identity politics and oh identity politics is driving

01:12:51.620 people pushing it know that that's why they're pushing it so they don't want us no dude we have 1.00

01:12:55.800 a bunch of old motherfuckers by the way most of them are fucking white okay we're holding on to 1.00

01:13:01.640 power because uh by manipulating a certain segments of the population and believing shit that isn't 1.00

01:13:07.300 actually true and until we all decide hey fuck all you old motherfuckers have been in this system 1.00

01:13:11.920 for the last fucking 40 years who haven't done shit we're not going to move forward we got to 1.00

01:14:32.460 yeah yeah next topic yeah well for what it's worth let me throw this out there 1920 there were 0.98

01:14:41.460 roughly 20 000 kkk members who who marched on washington from 20 1920 to 1930 you had roughly

01:14:49.080 at least seven states in the midwest and the south where if you had any sort of political

01:14:54.420 aspirations you had to be a member of the kkk in the 60s you had little black boys little black girls

01:15:00.540 who would literally be in in sunday school and they get firebombed okay so i'm a history nerd i've

01:15:08.500 read a lot of american history trying to get a sense of our country which is important to note dude that 0.96

01:15:12.760 wasn't that long right it wasn't that long ago like dude look to say that racism is fucking fake or 0.96

01:15:18.880 this not no that's not true but to say it's also an entire group of people black people think this 1.00

01:15:25.060 white people think this that's fucking bullshit too we got racist motherfuckers on both sides 1.00

01:15:31.020 absolutely on both sides okay and people say well white skin can never be oppressed bullshit 1.00

01:15:37.020 there's a history of white slavery that goes back a million fucking years okay but you motherfuckers 1.00

01:15:44.060 don't know your history and i'm not going to teach it to you so we can just agree to that you're an 1.00

01:15:53.820 studied african history when i was in prison yeah there's literally journals of white folks i used 0.98

01:15:59.480 to look around and say well you know black folks run everything yeah that's right people need to know

01:16:04.000 their history right like seriously our history does not and that doesn't like it doesn't start with 0.96

01:16:08.740 slavery like we have so much more history yeah thousands of years right yeah thousands and bro there's a

01:16:14.320 there's hit there's all kinds of different dude this is this comes back to this isn't race bro people 1.00

01:16:20.160 who say this is race they are fundamentally fucking stupid they're stupid because if you can't look past 1.00

01:16:26.640 someone's fucking skin tone what's that say about you in any regard whether you're looking at white 1.00

01:16:32.000 people or black people or fucking any people like i just can't imagine how people live their life just 1.00

01:17:05.300 but man does he write it's it's a good book i'll have to check it out it's good to read both sides

01:17:10.740 oh absolutely no no no and that's that's what i wanted you said you're a history buff so i said

01:17:14.560 man absolutely thank you for the recommendations but to the point that i i was making you look at

01:17:21.840 the history of our country and and two things should happen and it should be a smack down to to both the

01:17:27.920 right and the left you should look at what happened to black people and i do think that there should be 1.00

01:17:33.560 a moment where any white person in america reads that stuff and goes crap that is terrible some 0.99

01:17:41.420 fucked up shit that is terrible i don't think like and be genuinely sad that that happened but the flip 0.99

01:17:46.660 side is also true is to me that that if any person today studies that stuff and sees just how horrible 1.00

01:17:54.460 this stuff really was to compare your modern struggles to what those people went through

01:18:02.300 you talk about offensive that is all it's a pill that comes that comes from the weakness of our 1.00

01:19:22.340 up but again to compare your today to previous generations like obama their messiah says it's a 0.98

01:19:29.580 pale period at the end of the day the narratives that's going on in our country the anti-white the

01:19:35.960 anti-american the victimhood narratives amongst many other narratives at the end of the day right i'm not

01:19:44.000 a bible thumper right and you can quote me on this people need to find healing in their heart

01:19:50.580 right they do they need to find the healing in their heart there's a lot of anger hatred and resentment

01:19:55.340 running rampant in our country right if you're a man of god or if you're a woman of god right i'm a

01:20:01.800 christian if you stand on your belief as a christian our god jesus he's he's a forgiven god right second

01:20:08.840 corinthians chapter 5 17 be anyone in christ is a new creation be all things pass away that's a

01:20:15.580 forgiving god your today is not the previous generations yes it was horrific yes you're

01:20:21.600 hearing this constantly beating into your head but at the end of the day you're still my brother

01:20:26.220 you're an american right dj's my brother andy all of us everybody's in here is my brother

01:20:32.040 right you got to find if you're angry about the history you have to find healing in your heart if you

01:20:37.480 had something bias happen to you you felt like you had some racist situation to happen to you and 0.98

01:20:43.180 somebody was an asshole or a jerk to you you have to find healing in your heart forgiveness in your 0.98

01:20:48.140 heart right not everybody is that way period and i think that it societal wise culture wise in america 1.00

01:20:54.600 people just need to find healing in their heart period they got to find the forgiveness in the heart

01:20:58.920 you can't go around living your life with anger hatred and resentment because the same wall that

01:21:04.020 you put up to keep out uh possibly uh your unhappiness is the same wall that keeps out

01:21:10.160 your blessing as well and it keeps in your frustration and you you drown frustration in

01:21:15.020 you're drowning it and it prohibits you from progressively moving forward so yeah i mean that's

01:21:20.520 where i stand with it so absolutely i feel like what you're talking about there was this black pastor

01:21:25.040 in the 1960s who kind of said something similar what was his name i forget malcolm no no okay but

01:21:32.680 malcolm in his last days he did he did malcolm melo realized like oh malcolm went to the middle he's a

01:21:39.060 great example i'm actually a fan of a lot of his shit because at the end of his journey of his days 0.82

01:21:44.120 he started figuring out that a lot of the things that he believed were not actually true and he was 0.98

01:21:49.040 man enough to say so yep and then actually got took out and then actually teach yeah that's right

01:21:53.940 he started teaching the truth and then he was gone yeah and he went on his homage and he realized 0.96

01:21:58.620 that's why lebron james you got to read more than the first page motherfucker lebron james ain't reading 0.99

01:22:02.760 that damn no shit we got we got 15 fucking videos of him on the first page bro like so what would you 0.99

01:22:10.040 like about the book maybe you wouldn't be the most hated player in the nba what would you like about 0.99

01:22:15.060 the book james uh the front page it was a good book well let let's be let's be real about lebron

01:22:21.920 james i mean let's be real about what's motivating this all he knows money he knows well that and he 0.99

01:22:26.600 knows bro he he he listen we're gonna wear my 10-4 hat this motherfucker oh shit yeah this 1.00

01:22:33.120 motherfucker that motherfucker earns his money from one of the biggest fucking ccp companies in the 1.00

01:22:38.900 fucking planet which happens to be fucking nike okay they support and our they sell so much 1.00

01:22:44.600 merchandise i believe they actually sell more merchandise in china than they do in the american 0.99

01:22:49.360 in american marketplace this here is the problem so he's getting pressure from a company to take a 0.93

01:22:56.580 role that he is not equipped to fucking have that's should be pretty obvious to anybody he's not equipped 0.90

01:23:02.320 to have you could put the glasses on you can grow the beard you could do the whole look carry around 1.00

01:23:07.280 with the book motherfucker that don't make you nothing you still don't know what the fuck you're 0.99

01:23:11.320 talking about and and that man has been more damaging to the culture of america in the last 1.00

01:23:16.360 fucking 12 months than i think any other fucking high profile person because of the because of the 0.98

01:23:21.600 things he said you know when there was a shooting in memphis i think it was and he went out and said 0.99

01:23:26.340 oh you're next to the cop oh that oh dude and no repercussion no and then not only that bro yeah 0.94

01:23:31.160 no shit you got heat for a day right he heard up and retracted in bro it's like man can you imagine 0.97

01:23:36.240 look dude here's the thing these dudes these dudes don't understand the damage they're doing 0.99

01:23:41.820 they just don't they have influence yes and they and it's if you compare lebron james to jordan

01:23:47.500 yeah jordan is like i mean one of the the greats man yeah right lebron james they were consider one 0.98

01:23:54.580 of the greats does he do a lot of great things absolutely yeah but look he's look at the shit he's 0.91

01:23:59.420 doing now dude that's my point though i think i think he woke up and realized you know what 0.96

01:24:03.520 i'm always going to be runner up to the goat scratch that i'm always going to be second runner

01:24:08.620 up to the goat because the first runner up is kobe yep so i've got to make a name for myself

01:24:13.180 i don't think that's what it is at all you don't think so i think i think it's about pay dude i think 0.92

01:24:18.320 it's a green thing i think all the bad shit in this world that we have going on right now

01:24:21.960 comes down to money it really does and as much as i'm a proponent for having money i've always said 0.89

01:24:27.460 that you're not supposed to love it okay right uh so i mean i do love it but love it more than

01:24:34.320 other things right so the thing is is that we have a scenario now if you really like dude here's the

01:24:41.520 thing and this is where i think a lot of people are really disconnected they're they're in the battle

01:24:47.340 right like they're on the they're they're on the internet and on facebook and they're arguing with 1.00

01:24:51.300 each other fuck you no fuck you ezekiel right like bro we're just saying all this shit online 1.00

01:24:58.260 each other but if you look at like if you remove yourself from this and you start to rise above and 1.00

01:25:04.900 look down on it and you're like all right what's really going on here what we really see is a bunch 0.99

01:25:10.080 of people who profit from our division on the ground floor okay and those motherfuckers are the 0.99

01:25:16.740 ones sending these messages down the pipe that keep us divided and we have to all stop and say 1.00

01:25:23.600 that's not my enemy that guy i'm arguing with online that's not my fucking enemy the people who 0.99

01:25:29.280 taught him to think like that and the people who taught me to get involved with this those are the 0.99

01:25:35.340 motherfucking enemies those are the people that keep harmony from happening they keep progress from 0.95

01:25:40.360 happening and they keep us fulfilling the ideal of america from actually happening which is a place 0.99

01:25:47.980 of equal opportunity not equal result okay so what does that mean that means that you if you want more 0.98

01:25:56.520 than what you got guess what you got to do you got to go fucking do shit you got to work you're gonna 0.98

01:26:01.580 have to make investments in your future you're gonna have to do things that your homies and your 0.99

01:26:06.100 bros and this and that aren't willing to do that's a fact so we have to get out of the mindset

01:26:12.420 of being triggered when we talk about personal responsibility you know like a lot of these people

01:26:18.480 now are mad when you start talking about taking uh control of your life and being personally 1.00

01:26:24.440 responsible why are they so mad well they're mad because they don't want to have to do that shit 0.99

01:26:29.480 and they think that if they argue loud enough and strong enough and vocal enough that eventually 0.99

01:26:34.840 they're going to get whatever the fuck they want and i'm here to tell you you won't you'll spend 1.00

01:26:38.880 your whole life beating on a fucking pot that doesn't ever pay off shit so you really have a 1.00

01:26:44.540 choice to make dude we could like here this is the bottom line of everything whether you're black 1.00

01:26:48.840 brown yellow i don't care red it doesn't matter i don't give a fuck no matter what you are you have 1.00

01:26:53.440 a choice your choice is this complain complain complain bitch bitch bitch make post after post 1.00

01:26:59.680 post after post and maybe get some attention all right or shut the fuck up and go out and be an 1.00

01:27:05.800 example of what it looks like to fucking win and actually make a difference because i'm going to 1.00

01:27:10.280 tell you you motherfuckers out there is beating that drum you're going to be beating that drum your 0.99

01:27:15.900 whole life and the reality of this country will never change it will always be the same people who 0.99

01:27:21.880 work will create something people who create will get paid that's it and it doesn't matter what

01:27:28.280 color you are it doesn't matter where you come from it doesn't matter what you're do do do some

01:27:33.560 of us come from harder situations absolutely no one's saying that but what we are saying is that

01:27:39.460 regardless of how hard your situation is the decisions to make the opportunity to make better

01:27:45.260 decisions for your future and your family and your future family that doesn't even exist yet

01:27:49.840 are still open and free to everybody and that's a fact that is a true statement it's a factual

01:27:55.700 statement and if you guys decide to think that's bullshit and you want to spend your whole life 0.98

01:28:01.540 being a fucking victim then cool but you will never win that way and and that's really what i just want 1.00

01:28:08.520 you to know i want you to hear it from me because 20 years from now you're going to go back you're 1.00

01:28:12.040 going to remember you're going to say fuck that that dude that dude was right yeah right and i would 0.98

01:28:17.760 rather you start now then start then because the truth the reality of life hits us no matter what 1.00

01:28:25.960 at some point in time all of these motherfuckers beating this drum that that is not true that is 0.86

01:28:32.380 that is not real they are going to be confronted with the truth and for a lot of those people it's 0.99

01:28:37.400 going to be on their deathbed it's going to be when they're when it's too late when they've got cancer 1.00

01:28:42.020 or they've got sick or they're getting ready to die and they're going to say fuck i didn't do shit 1.00

01:28:47.900 all i did was beat this fucking drum i didn't make a change for nothing because at the end of that day 1.00

01:28:53.460 whether it be 50 years from now or fucking two years from now the world is still going to be the same 0.98

01:28:59.440 the people who do the work create they get paid and win and become the influencers of the world and 0.97

01:29:05.380 by the way that's in every country whether it's socialist communist or fucking anything 0.94

01:29:09.920 it's just reality people who want to win who they will make a way they will drive and drag themselves 0.97

01:29:16.580 across a hundred miles of broken fucking glass to do so and if you're willing to do that you'll win 0.99

01:29:22.520 if you're not i don't care what color you are you could be white oh you could be the whitest 1.00

01:29:27.220 motherfucker in the world you're still gonna fucking lose so we have to come to an understanding 1.00

01:29:31.960 as a culture that this is reality all right and what i want and the reason i'm vocal about these 1.00

01:29:38.120 things is for a couple reasons one i love this country this country is the only country in the

01:29:44.680 world that makes it truly available to every single citizen other places you have to try much harder to

01:29:52.320 get success to become where you are two i i fucking believe that humans are humans i don't care what 0.98

01:29:59.620 how much of a tan you got because of where your ancestors it's it's ridiculous statement it's dude it's 0.98

01:30:07.480 such a ridiculous topic it is a ridiculous topic if we want to talk about something real let's talk 0.99

01:30:12.180 about the socioeconomic disparities in those neighborhoods that are predominantly black let's 0.99

01:30:18.400 talk about fixing the education system so that some of these black children and brown children can 1.00

01:30:23.980 now believe that they can achieve things not be told that they can't achieve things okay we want to 1.00

01:30:29.860 fix things let's fix the crime rate in our cities let's stop killing each other because of fucking 0.99

01:30:36.220 shit we saw on music video or tv like dude the change that needs to happen in this world comes 0.99

01:30:42.440 from us and i'm not just saying this to black folks or white folks or anybody i'm saying this to any 0.99

01:30:47.580 motherfucker who's listening if you want the world to be a better place if you want the world to become 0.98

01:30:52.500 the the the america that it should be that's a leadership role that all of us are obligated to 0.99

01:30:58.760 every single one of us and that comes and that's by taking personal responsibility for ourselves our

01:31:04.320 actions our thoughts our words and what we say are we going to say wrong things sometimes yeah we're 1.00

01:31:10.480 gonna you know what that's the reality sometimes i say dumb shit sometimes craig you're going to say 1.00

01:31:16.920 dumb shit sometimes vaughn you well a lot of times good job you've perfected it but my point i'm gonna 0.99

01:31:24.720 back it up with scripture yeah my point is guys is that we're all human and we all make mistakes 1.00

01:31:29.180 and one of the things that you know this whole scenario of of of our cultural situation that

01:31:39.120 we have here in america whether it be covid or fucking masks or the racial things or all of these 0.99

01:31:46.840 things right one of the biggest things i've learned in the last year is that all of this shit is laid out 0.99

01:31:53.140 in the bible like it's really laid out like hey dude uh this is real simple be kind to people 0.96

01:31:59.500 treat people how you want to be treated you know pay honor to the father of god by being the best

01:32:06.040 person that you can be are you meant to be perfect no you're not that's where you said stop beating

01:32:11.080 yourself up that's that's a valuable that's a valuable trait but also it's not just stop beating 0.97

01:32:16.740 yourself up stop giving yourself all the fucking slacks stop letting yourself off the hook every 1.00

01:32:21.780 fucking time because that's an equally big problem right like we got people who are too hard on 1.00

01:32:26.560 themselves and then go down the drain and then we got people who are uh too easy on themselves and 0.99

01:32:31.680 they go to the same place right so we listen guys we all have to do a better job and for this to

01:32:39.540 actually fix itself and to heal which i believe i believe that's what everybody wants for that's on

01:32:45.320 the ground level the people up here when you get up here and look down on it they don't want that 0.99

01:32:49.780 shit but us the regular people fuck dude i don't want to fucking fight with people i don't want to 1.00

01:32:55.500 argue with people i don't want to hear i don't want to i want to dude we we need to be fucking 1.00

01:32:59.940 citizens of this country and and good humans and and ambassadors of america you know and of american 0.99

01:33:06.200 values and and dude this isn't white supremacy or racist or that's all shit that they say to get us 0.71

01:33:12.920 to stay from that spot because they know because what happens when everybody starts getting along 0.98

01:33:18.020 they're fucked by the way why do you think they want us to argue why do they think they want us 1.00

01:33:23.000 to fight because if we're arguing and fighting amongst each other we can't see the shit they're 1.00

01:33:26.360 doing to us that's a fact so fuck like wake the fuck up like i don't know how to end that bro like i 1.00

01:36:00.580 then there's another thing i think you know we changed you know a lot changed in our lifetime 0.93

01:36:03.900 you know for us got you know when we were younger you know you used to watch news is a lot about

01:36:07.740 highlighting the good you know you see a lot of the good things and the neighborly deeds and

01:36:11.840 you know it was about going out and promoting because you would be rewarded for doing good now it's 1.00

01:36:16.100 the reward system is for doing bad you know what i mean who's the most fucked up who could fuck up 0.99

01:36:20.940 you know and it and i think that controlling that piece of life is is sad because you know 0.98

01:36:25.520 the inspirational stories when we were kids they would inspire you right you get the you used to

01:36:30.440 watch the 30 on 30s and they were they were they were positive of the east 60s and they were they

01:36:34.640 were overcoming struggle and hardship and i think you know we don't see that anymore when you turn on

01:36:38.720 the news and you don't and unfortunately the our youth the young kids you know they don't they

01:36:43.760 don't get to see the um the qualities of helping your neighbor right loving your neighbor and being a good 0.98

01:36:49.420 human in society i think that's changed i wrote a note here i don't know what the fuck it says next 0.86

01:36:52.600 one let me add to that so right now the leadership that they have which we've seen them on record 0.96

01:36:58.080 saying hey robbing the gucci store robbing the macy's that's right that's reparation they have

01:37:03.740 poor leadership that's right they they confuse a generation of people that is out there they're

01:37:08.460 thinking that committing crimes and doing those things is social justice that's to come together

01:37:12.620 right so it's just poor leadership at this point they need good leadership that people to show

01:37:16.680 them an example hey it's okay to be a doctor not everybody's going to be a rapper you could be a

01:37:20.940 doctor or a lawyer or start your own business or maybe you're a pastor right there's a lot of other

01:37:26.100 things that we're successful in that are just not glorifying yeah and i be the change in the world you

01:37:32.480 want to be right i mean that's a lead by example it's a core value of ours here at first form but i mean

01:37:37.080 you have to be the change that you want to see in order for it to change around your environment you

01:37:41.960 have to go first and i think that's a that's a thing that's scary you know in and of itself

01:37:46.400 no matter what age group you're in you know for you to step outside your comfort zone it's hard

01:37:50.900 but that's what's necessary in order to make the change i uh you know a key factor that i've learned

01:37:55.900 in life there's two things and i'll leave you with this you know education educate in execution you know

01:42:27.640 the real world too it's just it takes people like us on the motherfucking internet or in the news 0.54

01:42:32.300 like dude when i go out in the real world and talk to people dude they're cool they're cool 0.98

01:42:37.140 yeah like 99 yeah yeah do you have one shit interaction of course yeah but i don't look 1.00

01:42:43.160 at that person and say oh yeah well that person's asian fuck fuck asians 1.00

01:42:47.000 like no you say fuck you yeah that's funny shit help me with my math homework oh that's too far 1.00

01:42:55.460 bro that's the mentality we got everybody's got right now it's like you know they have one bad 1.00

01:43:00.040 experience with somebody or something and it's a fucking you know fuck all that whole group of 1.00

01:43:04.120 people no that's kind of weird yeah just fuck that guy just because somebody's an asshole to you 1.00

01:43:09.480 or you met somebody who was a dick doesn't make them like a racist no at all they could have been 1.00

01:43:14.860 having a bad day their dog could have just died have you ever had a bad day yeah that's what i'm saying 0.99

01:43:19.580 like shit like not everybody i think i think my one of my universal uh truths something i'm taking 0.99

01:43:26.140 from this was a great great uh great show one of my universal truths that i like to always think 0.97

01:43:33.180 about is that you know from the beginning of time and forever on after you know thousands of years

01:43:39.560 after we all leave this planet there's always going to be good and there's always going to be evil

01:43:44.680 which one are you going to perpetuate right and and so you can be on either side of that line

01:43:50.760 right like but but forever and ever always and always those two things will always exist and

01:43:56.600 those two things will always try to fight each other which one are you going to perpetuate which

01:44:01.480 one are you going to push which one are you going to live by which wolf are you going to feed that's

01:44:04.760 right that's it and so i mean i think if you if you live by that and you can take the rest of the

01:44:08.820 stuff you put that stuff to the side are you going to be for good or are you going to be for evil

01:44:13.120 And that is a choice that only you can make for yourself.

01:44:16.520 And not only that, you know inherently which is which.

01:44:19.060 You absolutely do.

01:44:20.280 Just to add another thing, for me, not everybody's going to get locked up.

01:44:25.440 Not everybody has been dealt bad cards, right?

01:44:29.520 Even I would argue maybe I didn't really, maybe I wasn't really dealt bad cards compared to this guy over here.

01:44:35.300 Bad decisions.

01:44:35.920 Bad decisions.

01:44:36.560 Yeah.

01:44:37.400 But let's say you're somebody that, you come from a very good family.

01:44:41.540 No struggles.

01:44:42.460 Your parents, maybe they work their ass off to give you a better life and you don't necessarily have any struggle.

01:44:47.840 What's amazing about your journey of actually doing something in life, something impactful, right?

01:44:54.880 We all know the more people that you serve, service to the many is what leads to greatness is what Jim Rohn would say.

01:45:00.280 Let's say you're somebody that doesn't have hardship.

01:45:02.680 I guarantee you when you're on your path to trying to actually build something, you're going to be faced with some hardships.

01:45:08.100 You're going to be faced with some challenges that can give you that fuel, right?

01:45:12.320 And give you that experience that you need, that molds you and gives you that gratitude and, you know, that, that, that wisdom, that experience that you need to, to carry on for.

01:45:22.200 So if you're somebody out there that you, maybe you come from good background, you don't have any real struggles.

01:45:28.540 You don't have to get in trouble to be, make a story of yourself or be inspirational or build something.

01:45:32.800 And you come from a good set of family and there's no struggles, but I promise you, when you start going on down that path of building something, you're going to be faced with challenges.

01:45:42.640 It's just the way it is.

01:45:44.500 So lots of them.

01:45:46.700 Well, DJ and Sal got their final word.

01:45:48.660 Can I have my final word?

01:45:49.800 Sorry about that.

01:45:50.700 So I, I, I, I've been, uh, I've been kind of the, uh, the history nerd, but I'm going to be a history nerd again.

01:45:57.780 And December 7th, 1941, Imperial Japan drops the bomb, excuse me, attacks, bombs, Pearl Harbor, right? 0.60

01:46:04.980 A couple of weeks after that, Nazi Germany and, and, uh, fascist Italy declares war on the United States of America.

01:46:11.420 Do you guys know that when that happened, the week that that had, the couple of weeks that that happened, the United States military was not ranked one or five or seven or nine or even 13th.

01:46:22.900 They were ranked the 19th army in the world at that time.

01:46:27.380 They were actually ranked below Holland and Belgium.

01:46:31.060 And yet within a year, they had built the greatest fighting force that the world had seen.

01:46:37.720 And prior to the beginning of the war, prior to our entry into the war, it took a whole year to build a B-17 bomber.

01:46:43.680 After we realized that there was a threat, it took us 17 days.

01:46:47.100 We figured out how to do it in 17 days.

01:46:49.500 The people of America at that time, black, white, Jew, Gentile, Protestant, Catholic, whatever,

01:46:54.560 they realized that there was a threat and they came together.

01:46:58.180 And what I don't think that most people understand, and I think our listeners understand this,

01:47:02.520 but I don't think most people understand this in our country.

01:47:05.160 This whole woke mentality, this whole mentality of victimhood and blaming, this is the threat.

01:47:11.960 And if good people, black, white, Jew, Gentile, Protestant, Catholic, et cetera, et cetera,

01:47:16.500 if we don't come together and band together and fight against it, there's probably a threat greater than Hitler that's going to take over. 0.92

01:47:25.900 And I don't mean to sound melodramatic, but that's how serious it is.

01:47:29.040 So I think everybody of goodwill should band together and just say, no more.

01:47:32.960 We're not going to put up there anymore.

01:47:33.560 I think that's happening.

01:47:34.740 I think that's happening. 0.98

01:47:35.940 I mean, from my observations, you know, because I was pretty much a year ahead of what I was saying this exact same shit a year ago, 0.94

01:47:46.040 and I got the receipts, go listen. 0.94

01:47:50.220 Now, the resistance that we get on these messages is far less, and the promotion is far more.

01:47:56.840 So I think people are saying, hey, man, wait a minute. 1.00

01:48:00.620 Fuck you guys. 1.00

01:48:01.260 And, dude, that's what needs to happen. 1.00

01:48:03.820 Listen, there is a time and a place for you to look at someone and say, hey, fuck you. 1.00

01:48:08.760 Okay? 1.00

01:48:09.360 That's the truth.

01:48:10.400 And you could say that with love.

01:48:12.200 You really can. 1.00

01:48:13.720 You could say, it could mean, hey, fuck you. 1.00

01:48:15.860 Don't come back around me until you figure the fuck out. 1.00

01:48:18.820 And, dude, unless we start doing that, and this is something for the parents. 0.99

01:48:24.160 Like, this is where, and I'm going to leave off of this. 0.99

01:48:27.260 You people that have kids, and you're being quiet, and you're letting them do all this crazy shit, like put your kids in masks, and all this fucking bullshit, and keep them out of school, and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. 0.99

01:48:41.460 You realize that your silence is creating a massive problem for your children, a massive problem. 0.99

01:48:48.060 And if it were me, and they were my kids, I don't have kids, and I get up here and speak about it all the time. 0.97

01:48:52.620 But if it were me, and I was silent, and I was letting all this shit happen, I couldn't live with myself. 0.99

01:48:56.900 I'd be fucking super ashamed. 0.99

01:48:58.840 And you should be, too, if you're fucking sitting there agreeing with everything that we say, and not saying a motherfucking word about it. 0.99

01:49:04.460 It should bother you. 0.99

01:49:08.560 I think that's the show.

01:49:10.460 Oh, I'm going to thank him for coming on.

01:49:13.280 But, dude, I'm going to wrap the show up with that, man.

01:50:25.500 You guys love the show.

01:50:26.420 If you thought the show was good, if you gained some perspective, share it around for us.

01:50:30.400 Okay.

01:50:30.640 We don't do any of the advertisements, our marketing, some of these bigger shows do.

01:50:35.220 We run entirely on word of mouth.

01:50:37.240 And I like it.

01:50:38.280 I like that we do that.

01:50:39.460 I prefer that.

01:50:40.400 And that means if we're doing good, the show is doing good.

01:50:42.480 So if you guys wouldn't mind, if you got something out of it, have the courage to share the conversation.

01:50:48.560 Okay.

01:50:49.140 I know a lot of you guys don't share these conversations because you think that people are going to look at you a different way.

01:50:54.120 They probably will.

01:50:56.400 They'll probably look at you like you have a spine.

01:50:58.520 All right.

01:50:59.020 So I love you guys.

01:51:00.420 I appreciate you guys.

01:51:01.340 And I'll talk to you next time.

01:51:02.240 We'll see you next time.
